B'nai Mitzvah

B'nai Mitzvah

A bar/bat mitzvah is one of the most significant life-cycle events in a Jewish person’s life. The rabbi and staff at Or Shalom want to help make this occasion as meaningful, spiritual and memorable as possible for you and your child. B'nai mitzvah students are moving from childhood to adulthood, from learning to be responsible to being responsible. This rite of passage marks the entrance into Jewish adulthood and thus reasserts Jewish identity at a crucial point of passage. The accomplishments of each bar/bat mitzvah create a strong sense of pride and a deeper connection to Judaism.B'nai Mitzvah HandbookMitzvah Project Ideas
